I hope you do a follow up video showing the results. I can’t imagine how amazing it must be to look through this instrument. I’m here in light polluted Surrey, just outside London, awful skies, but...I’m going to the Star Party at the Grand Canyon in June. I’m spending the whole week there, 13 to 20, hiking by day, and just looking at the stars throughout the night. Don’t laugh but I’m taking a pair of 8x56 binoculars to sweep the Milky-way. Might take a tripod too for rock solid views. I’m hoping there will be some large aperture optics in situ that will provide breathtaking views. Can’t wait to see more of your stunning telescope. I’ll subscribe right now. Cheers... Stevie.
Outstanding work people! Congratulations on a job well done! If you are ever in Utah, you are welcome to stop by The Stansbury Park Observatory Complex...and “say hello to my little friend”....Thanks for sharing this video!
Me too. We had the strap break when our 31 in. mirror was being aluminized at Mt. Wilson a couple of years ago (done for free). The mirror broke into 3 pieces. The rare exotic glass mirror (which we didn't know at the time) we found out later was valued at $350,000. We had no insurance (which is another story altogether) so was a total loss. Sometimes one has a bad day.
Друзья! Душа радуется глядя на то что вы делаете! Рад за вас, спасибо за видео, для меня это познавательно и интересно! Хочу к вам там где есть такие увлеченные люди.
That is the mother of all Erector/Meccano sets! Boys & their toys... LOL. As you get older and have more disposable income, boys don't stop buying toys... we just start buying more ludicrously EXPENSIVE toys! Nice one mate. Envious. Congrats.
